The Hälsinglands Museum covers local history, culture and art, including a recreated cottage interior with traditional painted furniture and costumes from the region. Highlights are the eerily illuminated medieval church art, including a particularly striking Madonna carved by local artist Haaken Gulleson, the Malsta rune stone from around AD 1000, engraved with the Helsinge runic script, and changing contemporary art exhibitions.
